- Description
- Login at https://piee.eb.mil and search for 'N6893622R0033' to obtain more details.* The NAWCWD China Lake, CA intends to procure the field programmable gate array firmware update for the radar display computer, on an other than full and open competition basis under the authority of FAR 6.302, �Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency need.� The intended source is GE Aviation Systems, LLC. The AV-8B is a Vertical Short-Take-Off and Landing (VSTOL) aircraft used by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) primarily for Close Air Support (CAS) of ground troops.� The AV-8B uses a Radar Display Computer (RDC) which also acts as the back-up Mission Computer. The RDC processes all crew station display functions in the AV-8B Harrier. General Electric Aviation, LLC (GEAS) is the only source that can provide this since they acquired Smiths Aerospace, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the RDC. The OEM supplier, provided RDC units under contract N00019-13-D-0018. To remain relevant in the current combat environment, AV-8B RDC hardware and software must work together to accurately display all symbols on the Heads Up Display (HUD) and Multi-Purpose Color Displays (MPCD) required for effective operation and mission prosecution. The RDC is unable to display all symbols when symbol intense formats are attempted to be displayed. This display limitation prevents required information from being displayed to the pilot that limits the combat effectiveness and safe operation of the AV-8B Harrier.
